fiddling with chat ... just for fun... always asking to not hold back and go NUCLEAR... Oh, you want f.... nuclear? Europe builds Ducatis. The US rides Harleys. That, right there, says everything you need to know about how each sees the world. Ducati: sharp, fast, engineered to perfection. Harley: loud, heavy, outdated — still pretending it's cool because it made noise in the '60s. Europe *could* be leading the world in tech, industry, digital sovereignty — precision tools for a high-stakes future. Instead, we’re stuck kissing the ring of a country still roaring around on ideological chrome like it’s 1955. The US exports swagger, not sophistication. Harley culture in a nutshell: noise over nuance, dominance over dialogue, image over substance. And the worst part? Europe — the continent of engineering, design, and subtle power — keeps pretending Harley-style politics is somehow the standard. We act like the loudest voice in the room must be the leader. Spoiler: it’s just the exhaust pipe. Stop idolizing American exceptionalism. They’re running on fumes and a fantasy. Europe, start acting like the Ducati you are. Agile. Precise. Ruthless when necessary. Because this Harley circus? It’s running out of road. ...... Global politics has become one giant, insecure dick-measuring contest — and the EU is playing the role of the nervous intern who hopes nobody notices. Once again, Europe has delayed countermeasures against the US. “Let’s wait until August,” says Von der Leyen, hoping Trump doesn’t come back and throw a tantrum. This isn’t diplomacy — it’s geopolitical cowardice with a press release stapled on. And who are we so afraid of? The United States — a country with **4% of the world’s population** that walks around like it’s Earth’s default operating system. Arrogant, erratic, and addicted to its own mythology of dominance. Meanwhile, the EU keeps folding like a cheap suit. No spine. No plan. Just scared silence while Washington slaps everyone around with “America First” 2.0. We are watching a slow-motion collapse of strategic thinking. Digital power? Outsourced. Industrial strength? Eroding. Global voice? Mute. Europe doesn’t need more “pauses.” It needs a fucking pulse. This is not leadership. It’s failure — powdered, perfumed, and paraded as policy.
I agree with you. But timing is everything. The EU is dealing with a spiteful, petulant, dim wit who at his age doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone other than himself and what he can personally gain right now. Sadly one of the things he covets the most is attention which is why he decides to govern on live broadcast most of the time. Which means he takes every opportunity to twist situations to put the spotlight on himself regardless, but means if there's enough in it for him a total U turn is possible. Cast your mind back to the White House meetings with Volodymyr Zelenskyy? We have gone from total humiliation and lies, coupled with threats and minimal support, to yesterday Trump announced, "billions of dollars' worth of military equipment". When asked if the deal included Patriot air defence batteries and interceptor missiles, he replied "it's everything" The BFOC will be gone in a few years. The world has changed due to his actions, and I hope Europe will indeed distance themselves from the previous dependence on the USA.
